An inflatable portable substantially collapsible structure comprising an inflatable substantially collapsible playing field having at least two walls, a top and a bottom, at least one object director to direct an object with a fluid along or above the playing surface and at least one score area.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
The embodiments of the invention in which an exclusive property or privilege is claimed are as follows: 
     
       1. An inflatable portable substantially collapsible structure comprising: an inflatable substantially collapsible playing field having at least two walls, a top and a bottom, said field being of a form selected from the group consisting of a hockey rink, a soccer field and a baseball field,   at least one object director to direct an object with a fluid along or above the playing surface and   at least one score area.   
     
     
       2. The structure of claim 1 further comprising a fluid supply to provide fluid to the inflatable structure and to the at least one object director. 
     
     
       3. The structure of claim 2 further comprising an aperture at a predetermined position on said playing field for attachment of said fluid supply. 
     
     
       4. The structure of claim 3 wherein said fluid is air. 
     
     
       5. The structure of claim 3 wherein said fluid is water. 
     
     
       6. The inflatable structure of claim 1 further comprising at least one obstacle proximate said playing field. 
     
     
       7. The structure of claim 6 where said obstacle is inflatable. 
     
     
       8. The inflatable structure of claim 1 further comprising a score indicator. 
     
     
       9. An inflatable game structure comprising: an inflatable playing field having at least two sides, a top and a bottom,   at least one fluid supply element to direct an object,   at least one score area, and at least one inflatable obstacle at a predetermined location proximate said top, said obstacle being substantially in the shape of a player.   
     
     
       10. The structure of claim 9 wherein said top and bottom are connected by a plurality of substantially vertical baffles. 
     
     
       11. The structure of claim 9 wherein said structure further comprises a fluid supply. 
     
     
       12. The structure of claim 11 wherein said structure further comprises an aperture for connection of said fluid supply. 
     
     
       13. The structure of claim 9 wherein said top further comprises game indicia thereon. 
     
     
       14. The structure of claim 9 wherein said at least one fluid supply element is an air hose. 
     
     
       15. The structure of claim 14 further comprising a plurality of air hoses. 
     
     
       16. The structure of claim 9 further comprising at least two goal areas each proximate said end walls wherein each of said at least two goal areas further comprise a goal keeper and wherein said goal keeper is a substantially movable foam baton. 
     
     
       17. The structure of claim 9 wherein said object is of substantially foam material. 
     
     
       18. The structure of claim 9 further comprising a score board. 
     
     
       19. An inflatable game structure comprises two side walls, two end walls, a top and a bottom; a plurality of substantially movable air hoses, integral with said side walls, providing a stream of air along said top;   a playing piece movable along or above said top, by said stream of air;   a plurality of substantially inflatable obstacles, substantially in the shape of players of the game at predetermined positions proximate said top;   at least two score areas, each score area proximate each of said two end walls,   a goal keeper proximate each of said two score areas.   
     
     
       20. A game for amusement and promotion of physical activity comprising the use of an inflatable portable playing field comprising: an inflatable unit substantially collapsible and portable when not in use having a top, a bottom and at least two sides   said top further comprises a playing field   a plurality of fluid nozzles to direct an object along or above the playing field,   at least two score areas, wherein said game comprises at least one object movable to said at least two score areas, at least two players moving said game piece to said at least two score areas with at least one of said plurality of fluid nozzles and wherein each of said score areas further comprise a goal keeper, wherein said goal keeper is a substantially elongated baton, and wherein said baton is of substantially foam material.
